Caution
DO NOT operate test system and load without connector
savers
.
All connectors wear out when used frequently. Connector savers on
the RF Port and the load port(s) help to prevent costly repairs of the PIM-
P connector savers offer negligible influence on measurements. We
suggest to always leaving the connector saver attached to the tester / load
to ensure they are always utilized. Replace them when they wear out, and
their performance deteriorates. For order information please refer to the
chapter accessories.
Caution
DO NOT mount components directly on the PIM-P.
Always use a cable between PIM-P and DUT. The connector of the
PIM-P is a high quality, high precision element. It is designed to
withstand tangential forces that occur when connector savers or cables
are torqued on with the appropriate force. The RF Port connector is not
designed to support the weight of a component.
Caution
DO NOT block air vents.
Due to its high RF output power, PIM-P consumes up to 750W. This
energy has to be disposed. While these test systems have protection
against overheating, it is vital to keep air vents clear of any obstructions
that would prevent or limit the air flow.

Keep clearance at least 15 cm / 6 inches for Front Panel Vents.
Caution
DO NOT bent cable tighter than 40 cm / 16 inches of diameter.
Cables that come with the PIM-P offer a combination of high quality,
low PIM, and high reliability. The test cable is a vital piece of the
measurement setup, and a damaged or worn cable will influence PIM
measurements. The structure of AWT’s PIM cable offers customer
friendly utilization in the field and in the factory it allows for a bending
radius of 40 cm / 16 inches. Tighter bending will permanently alter the
cable structure, which will cause performance loss and can cause
permanent PIM, rendering the cable unusable. See also chapter: Using
the Cable
